Astro’s Playroom is comfortably one of the highlights of the PlayStation 5 launch lineup, and it comes pre-installed on your console, ready to play. If, like us, you’ve already beaten the game, however – you may be wondering if there’s more around the corner to enjoy. Short of confirming anything, creative director Nicolas Doucet teased that there could be more on the way.
“We at Team Asobi had a blast making this game,” he wrote on the PlayStation Blog. “It is pre-loaded in every PS5, meaning it is our gift to you, the amazing PlayStation community. We would not be here without you and we wanted to show you our most sincere appreciation. Astro will be back with news soon. Until then, have a great time with your PS5 and above all, stay warm and safe!”
It’s that closing statement that caught our attention: what news does Astro have in store for us? Could it be DLC, perhaps? Or is there an entirely new Astro games in the pipeline? Whatever it is, sign us the hell up, because as illustrated in our Astro’s Playroom PS5 review, this is one of the best games of the year so far.

Yeah, I'd love a big expansion pack for this with a bunch more levels!
Sony more so than any game company gives nice things to its fans.
Make a massive Astro Bot platformer/collect-a-thon in the style of Super Mario Odyssey and I'll happily pay $70 for that.
I hope it will be new full astrobot game for ps5
I doubt its DLC, I imagine (and hope) they're working on a full PS5 game or a full sequel to Astro Bot Rescue Mission for VR.
I'd be down for a full paid follow up tbh. Rescue mission on PSVR is one of the best things i've played in years, and i'd have no issues picking up a sequel (which will presumably be for flat play).
Team Asobi (and Media Molecule) are the closest thing Sony have to 'nintendo' studios, and well deserve to find massive success on the platform
Aren't their Add on trophies already hinted?
@AdamNovice There are add-on Trophies but weirdly they're just part of the game you get at launch. I guess they wanted to keep those activities separate from the Platinum.
A full game would be nice they reserve it.
I'd happily pay for an expansion
I'm just super excited that this game is free on every PS5. I'll be putting Spidey, Sackboy and Demon's Souls on the shelf tomorrow just to focus on playing this.
A new game would be great. I'd love it if it was VR, but I'd be okay if it was a regular game as well, as long as it's as creative as the other games.
@get2sammyb I remember the playroom game on ps4 that came free with it on launch had a big update later on too.
PSVR sequel, visual upgrade or VR compatibility mode?
"If, like us, you’ve already beaten the game"
NOT FUNNY
More Astro please !!!!! Can't wait for next Thursday so I can experience it myself.
Astro is becoming a bit of a rock star. From humble beginnings with the initial Playroom, to VR and now launch PS5 front man. It seems like just yesterday when I was creating peni...toys in the PS Second Screen app for ol' Astro to play with.
Astro is actually the main thing I'm excited for when I get my PS5 next week so whether it's a new game,VR sequel or expansion..I'm down.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is one of the best games from the last generation. I’d love a sequel.
Astro and sackboy co-op game!
